[Hero, G2 Touch General] tzara:
there isn't an official upgrade to 2.2.

you could install a custom froyo rom (such as froyd villain) or upgrade to a more stable rom (such as chocolate eclair or vanilla eclair)
[Hero, G2 Touch General] sharkfood:
You're right. The official is 2.1 but how do I upgrade to that version with a hacked device?
[Hero, G2 Touch General] pulser_g2:
See http://villainrom.co.uk/viewtopic.php?f=46&t=375 for a guide. As you are rooted, just follow the how to flash instructions.

Instead of using the rom it mentions, which is old, flash the zip for froydvillain or whatever you want using patched recovery
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] chrissyg123:
Does battery usage increase significantly while the APN is enabled?

I tested it even without auto-sync enabled and it seems to get through about 6-7% per hour (with the screen off!)

With APN turned off it barely uses 1% per hour!

I'm using the XWJG5 release with doc's deodexed rom installed and the sd card lag fix.

Anyone else experience this?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] AllGamer:
that is normal, even when using the HTC Athena or any other phones that uses EDGE, 2G, 3G, etc

next time please post these sort of questions / comments to the "Galaxy S I9000 General" forum instead of Development.

I always wondered if the GPS ON consumes battery, i am not talking about when it actually searches for satellites and tracks your position, i mean when it's in idle mode.. doing nothing.
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] igalan:
I've tested having the GPS disabled for a day and there was no diference in battery use that I could see.
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mehumummo:
GPS ON only means that app with GPS permissions will be able to use GPS. Setting itself doesn't do anything to GPS.

It only drains battery if app starts using GPS and in that case it's probably what you want.
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ninkul:
What the others said. I have mine on permenantly and I don't notice any extra drain. I keep it on for where's my droid - despite the fact it doesn't work indoors - where i'm sure it'll be 99% of the time.

(thanks to ephestione for the suggestion)

I did the cab operates with only 9.7 exe, everything else is in rom, so if you decide to use 9.7 you just install the cab

Recommendation for all who wish to use Opera 10, DO NOT PUT THE CAB in folder AutoInstall

because THIS CAB REQUIRES A Customization

and will block PROCESS AUTOINSTALL AFTER FLASH

inside Folder rom,you will find the folder Autoinstall with this cab:

[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] zenity:
Ok, so I got myself a G1.

For those considering getting one of these I must post a few words.

It's really really not that much different regarding speed and stability from my nand flashed Kaiser (kais130), running a stable Eclair build, seriously, I kid you not, and I'm not talking raw processor speed here ( dammit it's nearly the same processor, top speed using setcpu is 576, really not much difference there), feels much the same, looks much the same. ( ok perhaps a little sharper, but that's a user-relative thing), all the same apps perform much the same.

The big shock was battery, it's quite frankly terrible compared to my Kaiser, ok so this may be the old 'battery calibration' thing, but I was shocked at it hitting 8% by lunchtime, my kaiser takes 2 days to reach that level, and yes, I did use a bit more data and gps than usual, but not enough to account for that high a drain. And it does get a little warmer, reminds me of the old days, (january-feb 2010), when we were first using Android on kaiser, hot phones and fast drain.

Flashing is scary, I mean Scary!, all sorts of warnings about bricking your phone, and it's not the nice gentle 'this may brick your phone' this is big red letters, DangerSPL is just that, accidentally flash an older radio with that and it's instabrick, and a visit to men in white coats who understand what JTAG is and have huge wallets.

So am I happy with my G1? Well yeah, I've got the only thing that gives it the edge over my kaiser, Google Sky Map, the Scotsman in me reminds me that £79 is a lot of money, the Uber-Nerd in me opens Sky Map and tells the Scotsman to shut up and look at spica, or the southern cross...........

Oh and with a load of 2 year contracts finishing in the next few months, Ebay is probably going to be seeing quite a few of these.

Why a G1 anyway? The keyboard, and Android, My Kaiser left me hooked on both, and really, there isn't much out there that offers both, so be kind to your Kaiser, it's a great little bit of kit, sure it's old now, but really, it's just as good as a G1, yes I can use Sky Map, but I gotta put it on charge afterward........

I think this thread will make a lot of people smile, including me!! I too have been looking at G1's but I love my kaiser and it works so i've always resisted the temptations. Don't know how i'll resist if HTC bring out a new android phone with a keyboard though!!!
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] shefsalad7:
What do think about that rolly ball d-pad thing?
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] leona:
Ya I had considered the G1 too.

The screen is a 'little' bigger.

Doesn't it run a old version of Android, are there 'official' updates for it? will it run 2.2?

Personally I was thinking along the lines of getting a Milestone.

I have had my Stellar now for 2 years, (and that was 2nd hand too!) so why would I replace it with a phone that is just as old :)

I do like the Hero, my friend has one of those, but I miss the keyboard, I struggle to use the onscreen one since I can't 'feel' the keys, I need a hardware keyboard, so that limits the phones I can choose.

Guess I'll be sticking with my Stellar for a while yet, though you notice just how small a 2.8" screen is now, when everyone else has at least 4"! :)
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] FlanFlinger:
And you ladies have us believe size doesn't matter ;)
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] zenity:
Ok, day 2, battery life seems a little better, but that's with a 2300mah battery instead of the standard one, still say it's heavier on the battery than my kais though, it is a better handwarmer for certain, theres a discernible warmth to the lower part of the back right side after a call or using gps for a bit.

The trackball actually functions quite nicely, I have heard that some people don't like it, but I find it as useful as the scroll wheel on the kaiser, in other words, I don't use it that often, but when I do, it does what it needs to, no fuss, no messing about.

As far as customisation goes, it usually ships with 1.6 these days, but after rooting it'll go all the way to CM 6 ( Cyanogen Mod 6 = 2.2 ), although I went the CM5 ( 2.1), route myself, ( still requires DangerSPL).

With the stock 1.6 it does feel nice and fast, and has a decent amount of free space for apps, more than comparable donut builds on kaiser, but with Eclair it starts to get a little tight in there, in fact with a careful bit of tweaking I can get more free space on my kais than I can on the G1. ( at the moment both have nearly the same apps installed, G1 after taskiller = 31Mb, kais after taskiller 36Mb ).

No I am not saying the Kaiser is better than the G1, nor am I saying the G1 is better than the Kaiser, what I am saying is that I am finding they are very similar.

Can I recommend the G1 over a Kaiser with nand flashed Android, yes, but only just. The G1 has everything working after all, wifi, bt, gps, camera, video, etc etc, and so they should, the OS is designed for the hardware after all.

If you absolutely need a fully functional android phone with hardware keyboard, the G1 is a good choice, and you get what you pay for.

If you don't really need all the bells and whistles, such as video, autofocus and such, well why not stick with your kaiser, suitably nand flashed with a good stable build, it really is a lovely little machine, yes it is still work in progress, but I'm not ready to chuck mine out, I fully intend to keep it, and now I'm able to do some of the things I couldn't when it was my main phone, such as messing about with builds etc.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] robuser007:
I had them both (2 kaisers and one G1): now only one G1.

It's slow if you use it to it's full potential (using lot's of widget's to display everything I need).

It had 1.6installed when I got it, but never used it, straight to CM 5.0.7 test3.

DangerSPL isn't really needed and isn't dangerous at all. MTD is very nice :)

I use fastboot all the time (is needed for CM6 too; fastboot erase system -x).

There are some nice apps like droidexplorer,... that son't work for the kaiser.

gps fix is really fast (copilot) and most gps offline programs work on hvga compared to the kaiser :)

The screen (much better for direct sunlight, sharper, multitouch, and finger friendly (not like kaiser!).

I'm on CM 5.0.8 (apps2froyo doesn't work good with tons off apps), waiting for CM 6.1 (but it's not really needed anyway).

Camera is actually very good compared to the windows mobile camera.

Don't use a taskiller (>1.6), use swap instead (swapper, 32-64 or 96MB swap, swappiness 40-60)!

I can multitask 6 GPS programs, read my mails,surf and go back without reloading.

Sound is actually very good compared to kaiser.

It's expensive compared to G1 (around 100€-80dollar) and the bootloader is a motorola, it's encrypted (no custom updates ).
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] thomascw:
I bought an unlocked telus milestone a few weeks ago, it came with 2.1 update. I paid close to $500 us. For what i do with my phone, the kaiser nand flashed to mynswarmdonut works fine.Not nearly as flashy. I gave my son the milestone, I'll keep the kaiser for now. I bet my old kaiser will last as long as the new motorola.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] leona:
Hi zenity, so how are things with the G1 now you have had time to use it a bit more?

You don't mention that the G1 has a digial Compass and the motion sensors that the Kaiser doesn't have, do you use / notice them?

Been reading some of the threads on the G1 forums, they seem really active too, seems like 2.2 has been ported and working. Also see that over clocking the G1 seems common, did I see they had it up to 700Mhz! that must kill the battery and be really unstable. But its stock is 528Mhz whereas the Kaiser is 400Mhz that is quite a bit of difference.

I think I will keep my eye on Ebay and see if I can pick up a cheap one.

I would just like to try one to see how a 'proper' android phone works.

Do you not remember the old Renault Advert, "Size Matters" ! :)

After making my head spin looking at milestones, Desire's and X10's I had a mad moment and have gone for a Galaxy S, this caused much muttering from the wife along the lines of "€100 for a phone!", then I just pointed out that it equated to about 5 pairs of shoes (she's a cheap date ;) ) or one shiny chrome thing to bolt on her Harley (that I have to polish for her coincidently).

It should be arriving tomorrow, so if anyone is interested in an almost spotless Kaiser for €80 then let me know
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] zenity:
After a little while to settle in, I'm still of the opinion that it is not really noticeably faster in use, 400/528Mhz is not really a huge difference, nor is the extra 64Mb of RAM a huge advantage either, in fact as I said before it seems to run out of RAM faster than my kaiser.

I do love it on a decent Eclair build however, it does perform much smoother than my kaiser, perhaps CM6 is not quite as optimal on G1.

Battery life has stabilised a little, but in my opinion is worse than kaiser, however that may have something to do with the relative capacities of the standard batteries, that said, I have a charger at work, and I need it on occasion, and thats with the extended battery, ( my G1 is now about the same size as my kaiser, lol.

I do agree about the screen, it is larger, and more useable in bright light, the image is clear and crisp, and the surface feels nice and firm, unlike resistive touchscreens, which have a tendency to feel a little spongy.

Things I love? As I said before, google sky is to die for if you are a astronomy nerd like myself, and that uses the sensors to the maximum, just the idea of using a phone like a viewport to the stars amazes me, and it works, point it at your feet and it appears to look right through the earth.

GPS is faster to lock, but that may be due to cell tower assistance, however my favourite GPS app, (trekbuddy), has been ported to android, so I'm a happy bunny over that.

I love the new DSP additions to CM6, finally an android with real equalisation, and effects, for playing my favourite music, big bass and large room reverb has to be heard to be believed, can't wait until someone ports that to CM5, so I can have it on eclair too :)

My Kaiser isn't being neglected however, I am trying to keep up to date on the latest stuff, and the latest builds, however my secondary Kaiser may be getting a makeover, if I get the time it's gonna be a KaiserBot ;) ( hint: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iIQ8VtDU3W8 ).

All in all, I'm lucky not to have to decide which to keep, because it would be a hard decision, both are about equal overall, the only major difference being the completeness of the android experience, g1 wins there I'm afraid, but then, it is the original Google Android Phone.

Can I recommend getting a G1? Hell yeah, If you are aware of it's potential problems it's a good replacement for a kaiser, if you demand a hardware keyboard, if you are not afraid to mess with it getting it rooted and flashable, if you know it really needs an extended battery and are prepared to put up with the added bulk, it's worth it, ( but try not to spend over £90, that'd be about my limit on it ;) ).

Anyway, got to go flash back to my favoured eclair build, CM6 is being a memory hog again, so it's gotta go ;)
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] leona:
Nice write-up Zenity, thank you for taking the time to follow this up, I will defiantly been checking ebay, but I'm even tighter then you, £50 tops ! (yes I do have lots of shoes and clothes, but I only buy in the sales :) and never pay over the ods).

I have been browsing the G1 Threads already, getting some information and getting a feel as to what can be done, I read what you said about reflashing the rom and came across this thread and wondered if you had seen it.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=627518

If I understand this correctly this means you don't need to install DangerSPL or anything to get a rom, if its 'shunk' down enough.

Reading though the G1 threads I wondered if there are things they are doing that could be useful for our Kiasers, aka shrinking Rom's using CACHE directory's, SWAP partitions and EXT3 (I know its not supported at the moment, but could it be?).

Is Android development done in isolation, or do devs look through different forums and use ideas from one to another? (if compatible?)
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] zenity:
As far as DangerSPL is concerned, it is not needed if you can keep the system partition to less than 67Mb, however this pretty much restricts things, since theres only so much you can cut down before things get silly, that means on G1, Donut and maybe if you are really trimming out stuff, Eclair, forget Froyo, that's already over 90Mb, can't see how I would cut 23Mb out of that without really crippling something.

However DangerSPL is only dangerous if you go anywhere near radio, and as far as i have noticed, the minimum radio version for DangerSPL is fine anyway.

There is a certain amount of 'cross-pollination' between the devs, most tends to come our way, rather than us inspiring the 'main' android branches, however sometimes we add stuff too :)

As the main branch of Android customisation moves forward, so do we, just at a slightly slower pace, since in many cases it's not just as simple as copying a few files over, we have more restrictions, so we have to work harder, and smarter ;)
